Anyway on to exciting matters....
As you can see... (source ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/docum… for those already needing to see more)
More seriously there is a big difference in the way the UK will implement conformity assessment between a Turkey-style Customs Union and the Ireland-backstop Customs Union - detail matters in trade policy

Checking something on which I can find little information - business travel between the UK and EU in the event of no-deal Brexit - am I right in thinking that many will require business visas? Visa-waiver won't apply to 'paid work'. Thanks...
It appears to be correct that the rights of non-EU resident UK citizens to work in the EU are not protected in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Feel sorry for those concerned, and can't believe how we would voluntarily do this to our citizens with little notice
Also means that a number of workers for UK companies who are non-resident will also presumably require work visas in a no-deal situation. Likely to be on the highly paid side, so cost may not be so much of an issue as Home Office

Serious stuff on the Irish border. "very difficult discussions with our EU partners" "the UK will also need to live up to its responsibilities"

Frankly nobody should want to go anywhere near to needing these kinds of conversations
In the event of no-deal I *think* the UK would be under massive pressure to return to the negotiating table and accept what was already on the table in return for some minor assurances - but this would not be pleasant for anyone
Thoughts @KeohaneDan @Muinchille @BrigidLaffan @Sime0nStylites ?

Facile.

No Deal doesn't make it all go away. We most likely get political paralysis and crisis with economic shock overlaid.
Before we forget, the PM's deal is widely criticised because we leave the EU without a clear sense of future (not just the backstop). The PM has taken two and a half years to not set this future direction, but MPs are supposed to sort it out in a week?
MPs face a tough choice on Brexit - delay the decision to next year with the PM's deal, accept an obviously sub-optimal deal of closeness without much say, no-deal and likely economic shock, referendum to request the public change their mind - I don't envy them tbh

Echte koopkracht in Nederland hoger dan in België en Frankrijk en vrijwel gelijk aan Duitsland. Nederland daarmee op de 9e plek in Europa.
Alle EU landen in de grafiek behalve Bulgarije, Malta en Kroatië vanwege ontbrekende cijfers. Noorwegen en Zwitserland toegevoegd omdat deze ook nauw verbonden zijn met de EU
Echte koopkracht is in Nederland 27 duizend euro per persoon. Dat is dus 4 duizend meer dan gemiddelde in de eurolanden en 6 duizende meer dan gemiddeld in de EU

Hola Inesssss @InesArrimadas has empezado ya vacaciones? Mientras espero a septiembre para volverte a informar de nuevas inversiones multinacionales, aprovecho para explicarte algunas informaciones que te deberían interesar sobre la economía catalana...Abro HILO
Catalunya es la mejor región para invertir en el sur de Europa 2018 segun @FinancialTimes premsa.gencat.cat/pres_fsvp/AppJ…
Esto puede haber influido en el hecho que en el primer semestre hayan llegado 105 inversiones a Catalunya (y vaya inversiones!!! Facebook, Microsoft, Siemens...)
Barcelona líder mundial en congresos internacionales!!! google.es/amp/www.lavang…
Tela no?? Líder MUNDIAL!! será que no hay ciudades por el mundo... Eso quiere decir que tenemos una economía muy diversificada, herencia de siglos de industria y comercio

@thegwpfcom @James_BG 1/* What are the claims of the report? Despite the provocative title, it isn’t very clear – and the bits that are clear I mostly disagree with. This is going to take some unpacking. [THREAD]
2/* Presumably the main claim of a report with this title would be that if plastic recycling were to be stopped and replaced with incineration, it would “save the oceans”. I do not agree with this – and nor, it appears, does the author.
3/* How, according to the report, does recycling harm the oceans? It identifies different mechanisms for recycling in the West and in the developing world. Most of the report concerns the West, even though…

It's excruciatingly embarrassing that our press has pumped out so much bilge about the EU that .@EUlondonrep had to have a page on its website dedicated to "A-Z of Euromyths".

As it's Friday, I've picked out my top-ten stupid stories by the British press on the EU #Thread
In at N°10 in the Brit EU-#FakeNews Hit Parade: The S*n claimed the EU wanted to ban BAGPIPES. I'm sure Her Majesty the Queen would have had something to say about that, of whom more anon...

At N°9 in the Brit EU-#FakeNews Hit Parade: The Daily Telegraph, which is now almost as bad as red-tops for fake news when it comes to the EU, claimed the EU wanted to ban that most famous of British icons, the doubled-decker bus.

1/ Aaargh the new Brexit stuff for today wasn't over yet. The EU Commission has published three more sets of "future relationship" slides - on land transport, "mobility" (ie immigration) and goods regulation. Some thoughts. ec.europa.eu/commission/bre…
2 The mobility (immigration) slides essentially match what I wrote on this issue in December: eulawanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/beyond…
But let's look at some points.
3 Useful summary of areas where EU law sets rules (mostly minimum standards) on legal migration of non-EU citizens, and where national law applies.

(Nb Denmark and Ireland opt out)

Ça y est ! Je crois que j’ai enfin compris d’où sortent les chiffres de Dominique Méda. #thread
Mme Méda nous annonce des « taux de pauvreté des salariés » de 23% en Allemagne contre 8% en France.
Sauf que, d’après Eurostat, les taux de pauvreté des gens qui travaillent sont de 7.5% en France et 9.7% en Allemagne (chiffres de 2015).
